INTRODUCTION
Cero a Washington DC native of South American Descent is no rookie to the "Latin Urban" genre. Cero brings an original, grimey, radical spanglish flow. Whether delivering a positive message to empower people or reflecting on the negativity from his environments from Latin America to the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area. He is strong vocaly in his music and the movement behind it.

THE TRAFIKANTEZ ERA
His grind started in Cali, Colombia just like a coffee bean waiting to get exported for the US. Influenced by Mobb Deep, Wu Tang Clan, Cypress Hill, Outkast, and numerous others he developed a butchered like Spanglish flow giving him the name "Carnicero-007." In 1997 He smuggled his raw style back to the states where he connected with Tragiko, a Colombian MC from Chicago and began the group "Trafikantez”. They successfully released an independent album “De Calidad Por Cantidad”, and a video which was directed by Niche Studios from the Big Pun Documentarys. They also budgeted and independently toured not to mention they created an extensive network. The group later disbanded due to creative differences. There music still gets radio play and fans request that the band reunites again

SACRIFICIO
His debut album “Sacrificio” was released under Ceromundo Music and is availble in stores and online (itunes). The album is Hip Hop Latino in its purest form with creative controversial Spanglish lyrics that take you on a ride from the 1st track to the last. Its subliminal message translates through a collection of party songs, battle lyrics, street anthems, and story tales. One of the songs “Nadie Sabe Nada” debuted in the top 10 Hip Hop en Espanol charts on Batanga.com. The single “Ponete Pilas” had a campaign which inspired Latinos to wake up and smell the café. The album includes production from Crooks Brothers, Tony Vinyl, Golden Chyld, Stretch and guest spots from artists like Calle Cardona, 4Esquinas, Dshon, amongst others. The album continues to move units in through out the states (MD, DC, VA, NY, FL, TX, CA, MA) and has even reached fans from Colombia all the way to Mexico City, Europe and Japan.

CEROMUNDO BEGINS
Fast-forward to 2005, Carnicero dropped the beef from his name and decided to start from scratch under the name Parcero or "Cero" for short. After attending the Art Institute of Washington D.C. he studied Multimedia and Graphic design. He also attended the Omega School of recording for Music Business. In 2006 he established Cero Mundo LLC which specializes in graphic design, promotion, music publishing, and marketing. His company helped pushed the careers of “Dj Dee Cash” by hosting partys in the upscale neighborhood of Bethesda and he is developing “Lainez” and artist that has got featured in the Washington Post.

PROJECTS
His second campaign and single was “Esto Ta Pesado” which was inspired by the imigration rallys in Washington DC after hearing local djs play reggeton. The song was so motivational that the Washington Post created an article about local DC Latin rap artists. Cero has collaborated with Mellow Man Ace (The Godfather of Latin Rap) and recorded “Recognize” released under Latin Thug / Koch records. He recently dropped a succesful mixtape “For Spanglish Marka Cero” hosted by Dj Cabezon, a well known Hip Hop Latino Mixtape Dj. Cero is currently in the lab working on his next sophmore album which is being recorded at Listen Vision (D.C.’s number one recording studio). On this new album he promises to deliver music to a wider audience with hotter production and a fusion of Hip Hop, salsa, cumbia, and gogo that the listener will enjoy listening to. With his consistency and dedication it will only take zero seconds for the masses to know who Cero is

Cero Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

眠れない夜なんかには
あの町のことおもいだす

誰も渡らない信号機が
赤になって
青になって
また赤になる

ここは衛星都市デカイ駐車場
ネオンぴかぴかパチンコ屋

葬られた想いに灯油をかけて
灯をともし
手をかざし
暖をとれ

ここから東京まで行くならショート・トリップ
ビロードの空気を切り裂けレッド・アロー

そう、ここは衛星都市茶畑とモーテル
greentea boulevard 蜃気楼の地

Overall Meaning

In Cero’s song 入曽, the lyrics describe a sleepless night where the town he used to live in comes to mind. The repetitive stoplight that changes from red to blue and back to red again symbolizes the monotony and lack of change in the town. The setting is described as a satellite city with a large parking lot, bright neon lights, and a pachinko parlor. The singer mentions lighting a lamp and feeling the warmth in order to give light and warmth to the buried feelings they have.

The lyrics then suggest taking a short trip to Tokyo from this satellite city, cutting through the velvet air with a red arrow. The location is further described as a collection of tea fields and motels on greentea boulevard, an illusionary land with a mirage. The tone of the song is wistful and nostalgic, with a desire to leave the stagnant town and explore the distant city.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of yearning for something new and exciting outside of the dreary and unchanging satellite city. The stoplight serves as a metaphor for the town’s static nature, while the mention of lighting a lamp symbolizes the need to find warmth and light in one’s buried feelings.
